SOOT COLLECTOR FQR GASOLINE STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,508, dated February 28, 1888.

Application filed December 6,1886. Serial No. 220,840.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARGARET M. JosLYN, of Grand Meadow, in the countyof Mower and State of Minnesota, have invented a new. and lmproved Soot-Collector for Gasoline-Stoves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gasolinestove burner to which my'improvement has been applied, and Fig. 2 is a perspective View of my improved soot-collector.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in both views.

The object of my invention is to provide an attachment for a gasoline-stove for collecting the soot and smoke and preventing it from being spread in the apartment in which the stove is used. 7

My invention consists of an inverted funnel placed over the burner while the gasoline is nel, B, with its wider end over the burner A.

The upper and narrower end of the funnel is (No model.)

closed by a perforated disk, 0. The funnel is provided with a bail or handle, D, by means of which it is placed over the burner or removed. Most of the soot and smoke resulting from the combustion of the liquid gasoline is collected upon the inner surface of the funnel B, and may be removed by scraping the inner surface of the funnel from time to time. Some of the smoke passes through the apertures of the disk 0, and is received on a moistened cloth, E, thrown over the funnel.

By means of the funnel and the moistened cloth the greater part of the smoke and soot formed by the combustion of the gasoline is collected and prevented from accumulating on the ceiling and on surrounding objects.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As a new article ofmanufacture, a soot-collector for gasoline-stoves, comprising the inverted funnel B, having imperforate sides and a perforated disk, (1, secured permanently in its contracted end, and the bail D, having its ends connected to opposite sides of the funnel at or near its upper end, substantially as set forth.

MARGARET M. JOSLYN.
